Abstract
Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a condition characterized by the delay or failure of normal corneal epithelialization. This aberrant process can lead to conjunctivalization, superficial corneal neovascularization, and ultimately poor healing of the corneal surface, resulting in corneal blindness. The treatment of LSCD can be complex and can range from conservative approaches to surgical interventions. Recently, simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) has emerged as a novel surgical technique for the treatment of unilateral LSCD with promising results. In this chapter, we review the SLET surgical technique and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of this surgical modality.
